The TRUMPET --QI' Q.. l -ae St. Gabrielis Orchestra HE high school orchestra under the capable leadership and tutelage of the Sisters has had a most successful year, bringing riehly de- served credit upon themselves, their instructors and their school. During the year they played on va1'ious occasions and were always ready to par- ticipate in any undertaking of the school. They also appeared before several civic organizations. On February 21st they played before a large and appreciative audience at the Knights of Co- lumbus home, on the occasion of the Washington program given by the Knights and each number was accorded hearty and prolonged applause. Get Together Day marked their next appear- ance at the K. of C., members again made up the audience. At noon, on St. l'atrielc's Day the oreliestra members were the guests of the Hazleton Rotary Club, at a banquet held in the hall-room of the lslotel Altamont. On this, as on all other occa- sions, they charmed the members by the excel- lent rendition of their program. That their work was appreciated was manifested in the praise they received through the press. On the same night the orchestra played in the auditorium be- fore a vast audience on a program given under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus, adding another to a never-ending chain of laurels. The personnel of the Orchestra: Piano-Laurence Farley. Violins-James Garrahan, John Mulherin. Trumpet-Joseph T. Jacobs. Cello and Viola-Edward A. Lynch. Trombone-Stanley Krencewicz.

S.. .. ..... ..... 2 2. S. G. H. S... . .. 6 Due to a loss of almost the entire former varsity and the lack of efficient material, a short but stiff schedule was arranged. Coach Clark issued a call for candidates on the first of September and the shortage of ex- perienced material presented itself. The small amount of material present was rounded into shape under the able tutelage of the Coach and on September 26 the team journeyed to Coal- dale to play Coaldale Catholic H. S. For sixty minutes the teams played upland down the held, neither being able to score, and when the final whistle had blown, a moral victory had been gained. In this game the sterling defense of the team leaped to the fore. The following week the team again invaded a hostile territory. Although the game ended with Shenandoah on the long end of a 13-7 score, one of the greatest upsets of the season had occurred. Shenandoah, who later became the High School football champions of the Anthracite region, had been held to two touchdowns. The Coach well pleased with the showing of the team decided to rest them. On October 23, three weeks after the Shenandoah game, Free- land Mining and Mechanical Institute came here with a team of huskies. Again the Saints went down to defeat, but not until the pistol shot an- nouncing the end of the game was heard could the outcome be determined. The only victory of the season occurred two weeks later when the Alumni was defeated, the score was I3-O. Another rest followed this game and when the team journeyed to Reading on Thanksgiving Day, the lack of experience was plainly evident. Although a long run gave the team an early lead, Reading soon opened: an of- fensive which completely upset the Saints and the game ended with Reading on the long end of a 22-6 score. Coach Clark and Captain Martin deserve great credit for the work done by them. MATTHENV J. LEIB. Commercial Girls' Basketball The Commercial girls of nineteen twenty- seven possess two outstanding features, namely loyalty and school spirit, both of which combined to give zest to the basketball team, known as the Junior Commercial Girls' Team. Success- fully and creditably they represented the school of commerce with Helen Heaney as manager and Louise Gessie as captain. Following are the players: forwards, Helen Heaney and Grace Ferry 5 guards, Grace Reckenwaldt and Louise Gessieg centers, Laura Gilson and Anna O'lDonnell. The forwards forgot everything when playing except their one aim, to keep the Commercial in first rank. At whatever angle they stood, the making of a basket seemed easy to them. Our guards seconded the players ably. Our centers usually jumped their opponents and helped' to place the ball safe in the hands of the forwards, ready for their skillful work. Altogether we had a most successful athletics season. HELEN I-IEANEY, J27. 1 l S n- .- S 1 I l E941
